“Gizelle was great house sitting for us. Communication was great, and she came over ahead of time to meet us and the pups. Sent lots of pictures and took them on several walks over the weekend. Already have her booked to sit for our next trip!”


“Elizabeth was amazing!! We have two dogs, one of which does not do well with anyone outside our family or a lot of regular interaction. Elizabeth came over multiple times at our request to meet and spend time with him to see if we could even leave him with a sitter. On the first visit, our little terror jumped right in her lap and licked her in the face! We were shocked. This was not normal for him. He took to Elizabeth right away and we felt completely comfortable leaving him with her. She sent photos and messages every day letting us know how our boys were doing and we were completely at ease knowing they were in loving hands. We couldn’t be more thrilled to have found someone that can keep our boys so we can travel more. We have already booked Elizabeth for two more trips. I highly recommend Elizabeth!!”


“She is fantastic! She went the extra mile to look after Tinkerbell and Zeus, as well as our house. At our request, she brought Tinkerbell to the emergency clinic late at night and stayed to ensure her well-being. Our babies enjoyed their time together. We will definitely be booking with Landyn in the future.”


“She did a great job taking care of our boys! They seemed to have a good time and she left the house better than she found it. Will use again!”


About: Hi, I’m Ayanna! I have taken care of dogs and other pets for most of my life and nothing makes me happier! I love giving attention and affection to all animals. I don't have a fenced-in yard but the inside of my house is very spacious for them to run around and have loads of fun. I also have a 10-year-old Manchester mix who is kinda lazy haha and a 1-year-old Jack Russel who is very hyper and playful so she doesn't take a lot to be persuaded to play if your puppy is as hyper as mine is. I take my job very seriously and my main priority when watching your pup is to make sure they're safe and comfortable while in my care. If you have any questions at all please send me a Message :).

“Love love LOVE Sidney. She does an amazing job with our pets. Keeping us informed sending lots of photos and taking care of our home as it is hers. There is nobody else we would trust with our animals and home!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, hamsters, and Guinea pigs since I was 6 years old. I’ve also helped in caring for my sister’s bearded dragon! I work from home and can bring my work with me so I’m pretty flexible! I have experience letting my own animals out at night when needed. Make sure that the pet gets what they need- food, water, playtime, snuggles, space, outside time. With the client’s home I will make sure to keep things tidy and orderly.

“Mary Ashley did a great job looking after my 5 dogs for a week while I was out of town. I’m pretty sure they thought she was their new mama. I wouldn’t hesitate to have her look after them again. She is responsible, patient and caring. The dogs loved her and everyone was relaxed, happy and well taken care of. All in all a fantastic pet/house sitter.”


“Jeffery did a great job with my cat! I hired him for a short house-sitting stint and he did quite well. Cinnamon seemed to get along well with him, and he took care of her feeding schedule expertly. The extra tasks I needed (bring in mail, set the faucets dripping for the freezer warning, etc.) were handled. Everything was in order when I came home, as far as I can tell. I definitely plan on turning to him for his help if I need it again in the future!”


“I love her. My dog and I thinks she’s a great sitter. I can tell he looks forward to seeing her. 10/10”


About: I’ve loved animals since I was a kid. I would love to able to walk and watch your pets for you. I currently work in the animal field and would love a way to enjoy my passion and make money for my savings. I currently work a part time job and would need to text or have a call about what days I’m available. I would prefer a day of walks, check-ins, and would be open to overnight. I would love to sit at the owners home. I would take them for daily walks in your neighborhood or nearby parks. I’m also good at nap time and daily feedings for your pets.

“Nicky was wonderful. She treated our crazy pack like they were her own fur babies. We have a mix from German Shepherd down to the true queens of the house 2 chihuahuas with everything in between. This was the first time we had left them with someone other than family but she did great. Definitely will use again!”


“Cameron was a great sitter for Lucy! It was obvious she has a love for animals. We trusted her completely and it was a pleasure to get to know her! We had to make some minor changes to our plans and she was so accommodating and agreeable--she made it a great experience for us!”


About: I managed a dog shelter for many years. Have taken in as many as 35 dogs at a time just to keep them from being put to sleep. But that was when I lived on a farm. Thankfully, I currently only have 3 dogs total. I have a smoke free home, a fenced back yard with a doggie door, where they can run and play. Gated neighborhood. If you want your dog kennel trained I can do that. My dogs love doggy company!! I can provide any service you need when it comes to your baby. I have worked with dogs, cats, pigs, chickens, raccoons, horses, donkeys, cows and parrots. i have bottle-fed deer, Possums and squirrels Oh my! You won't find anyone that loves dogs, well, animals more! Your time is my time! I am here for you. I will care for your babies or farm while your away for the day or vacation. i have a fenced in backyard, private, gated, subdivision. If you want your babies crated i can do that too. Just let me know and i will provide

“Makayla did such a great job with my fur babies! She was attentive and communicated with me during the whole process. I will definitely be using her services again and recommend her to all!”


“Paula was great keeping our small dog in our home. She sent pictures daily and from her comments I could tell she liked our dog and was having fun with him. She also left the house in great shape. I will definitely use her again!”


About: Patient, Loving, & Fun I have taken care of dogs, cats, rabbits, and hamsters! 🐇Leo Sasha and Levi approve of their mommy skills of taking care of them. My three rabbits I take care of now get their bedding changed weekly, get plenty of hay and occasional treats that they love. Lots of stretching and playtime outside of the cages. If your beloved pet needs more things on their to do list I am more than capable to do so. I work Sun-Thurs 12am-8am but can fit requests in if needed on those days. Friday & Saturday are open for anything! Please let me know. Pet care can be effectively woven into both daily and weekly routines, providing structure and predictability for pets while also benefiting owners. A consistent daily routine, including feeding, walks, and playtime, helps pets feel secure and reduces anxiety. Pet care at home varies depending on whether it's a pet-sitting service, in-home boarding, or a routine pet care visit. Pet-sitting involves daily walks, feeding, playtime, and administering medication as needed. In-home boarding includes overnight stays, ensuring a safe and comfortable environment with regular exercise and socialization. Routine pet care visits focus on specific needs like grooming, medication reminders, or simple assistance with daily tasks.

About: I have been lovingly caring for my pets since age 6, and never looked back. At 10 years old I began training puppies and have experience with animals of all ages. Let your mind relax knowing your precious pets are in good hands! 🐩🐕🐈 I have wide open overnight plus afternoon availability to guaranty your puppies, kitties etc. are getting plenty of exercise, bathroom breaks, love and more. Thanks! Upon booking I will request a thorough check list for your pets care. I want to ensure everyone is taken care of properly at all times!

“We highly recommend Kay-Kay. She house sat for us and made sure to take them on walks and stayed in touch daily and sent pics. She took great care of our fur babies!”


About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, snails, and more since I was a young child. Now, I am an adult animal lover who is a special education teacher and crafter when I’m not with my dog, Kai. :) I’m available for boarding on weekends, or available on weekdays after 4pm! I work M-F from 7-3pm. I live in the city but work in the suburbs so I’m happy to travel to the suburbs! I have one dog, Kai, who is a wooly husky! Kai loves other dogs and will happily keep your fur baby company while you are away! She is very relaxed and laid back, but will happily play with a high-energy dog if they are around! I take her to the dog park very often, and will happily bring your pup along if you request that! Otherwise, we go on walks around the neighborhood.
